A day of leisure around Lake Seminole.

As we had a day off we had a late start and a slightly disappointing breakfast at the motel. With another warm sunny day in store we headed off to the nearby large Lake Seminole which was created by damming the River Flint which is the river on which Bainbridge's prosperity is based. It was not as full of visible wildlife as we'd hoped and Keith did not get to see his first alligator which surprised us.    By the end of the day the temperature had reached 87 degrees F but we've been here so long it did not  seem that hot any more. It's going to be hard getting back to England in late October!
Lunch was slow and disappointing by our evening meal was a return to the Chinese restaurant on the main square where we'd enjoyed eating last night too. Their buffet is varied, delicious and very good value and acted as an introduction to two young lady compliance officers for Georgia's Student Finance Comission. Hello to Janice and Kim who were impressed to hear the story as to why two old English men had ended up in this town in their State of Georgia.

Lake Seminole is very quiet and relaxing. 

Looking for 'gators that ain't there!

Don't know what they are but big reds, chicken livers and a side order of crappie shiners have got to be better than what I actually had for lunch. 

One bird that did show was this obliging juvenile Pregrine Falcon.
